The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.

Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).

ELAZAR SOFER, MD is a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider practicing in BEVERLY HILLS, California, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: MD. NPI: 1205124815. This profile includes practice location, specialty classification, and organizational affiliations from the CMS provider registry.

ELAZAR SOFER, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Facial Plastic Surgery Physician provider holding MD credentials at 8929 WILSHIRE BLVD STE 102, BEVERLY HILLS, CA, 90211, with a listed phone of (310) 447-8502. NPI 1205124815 was issued on 07/16/2011.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 26 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $313 in drug spend. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Facial Plastic Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 607 enrolled providers across 47 states and an average of 428 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
